Supreme Court of Florida

Larry R. Wetzel, Petitioner v. the Travelers Companies, Inc., Respondent.

April 4, 2019267 So. 3d 978

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court denied Larry R. Wetzel’s petition for a writ of mandamus and ordered sanctions prohibiting him from filing further pro se pleadings in two underlying cases unless an attorney signs them. The Court held it has subject‑matter jurisdiction under the state constitution and may impose such sanctions to protect judicial resources. It also noted Wetzel’s due‑process arguments were unavailing.
